The armed deputy who was on campus at Marjory
Stoneman Douglas high school when a gunman massacred 17 people stood
outside the building as it occurred and did not go in to engage the
shooter, the Broward County sheriff, Scott Israel, said on Thursday.

The
armed security guard did nothing to stop the attack, instead hiding
from gunman Nikolas Cruz when he opened fire, killing 17 on February 14.

Scot
Peterson, the school's resource officer, did not confront the gunman
and instead stood positioned outside the school during the massacre,
Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said Thursday.

The
54-year-old 'never went in,' Israel explained, citing security footage,
and adding that he was armed and in uniform when bullets started to fly.

And
in an interview with the New York Times, Coral Springs Officer Tim
Burton revealed Peterson hid from Cruz when the teenager started
shooting.

Deputy Scott Peterson resigned from the department on Thursday after being told he would be suspended, Israel said.
